Mr. Griffin’s Personal Finance class had a hands-on day exploring 10 different financial stations around the classroom! 💰 Students learned how to use a checkbook register, track expenses, and see how quickly everyday spending can add up. They also used starting career salaries to create a budget, pay bills, and see if they would end up in debt or have money left over! This simulation/activity connects to Dave Ramsey’s curriculum as it outlines financial literacy in so many different ways that helps students learn the importance of budgeting, saving, avoiding debt, and making smart financial decisions for their future! 📊💵
💰 Mr. Griffin’s Personal Finance/Consumer Education class had the opportunity to learn about different banking services, including checking and savings accounts, as well as the different types of accounts available to help individuals manage their money, save, invest, and build wealth.
Throughout this unit, students also explored money orders, how to reconcile bank statements, and how to keep track of transactions using account registers. Today, students took it one step further and learned how to write checks! 📝
These are important, everyday financial skills that students can take with them beyond the classroom. From managing bank accounts to understanding financial transactions and writing checks, we are putting financial literacy into practice!

Congratulations to Sophia Schuler, our November CTE Business Student of the Month!
Sophia is a freshman in Mr. Griffin’s School Orientation class who consistently demonstrates what it means to be a positive and hardworking student. She shows up every day on time, comes to class with a great attitude and mindset, and takes pride in everything she does.
Sophia is always willing to help her peers when they are confused or need a little extra guidance. Her kindness, welcoming personality, and willingness to support those around her make her a wonderful presence in the classroom. She consistently turns in her assignments on time and puts effort into everything she takes on.
Keep up the fantastic work, and congratulations on being named our CTE Business Student of the Month! We are proud of you!

Today, the Junior High students got to celebrate more than just Halloween! They participated in W.H.Y. Day (We Hear You), which recognizes that everyone needs healthy strategies to get through life's hard moments.
Our students learned about good communication, the importance of exercise, keeping ourselves physically healthy and even got to love on therapy dogs!
The students had a blast and it was a great way to start the Halloween weekend!
